AI overview
I cannot write an accurate overview of "saṅgha" based solely on this image caption, as it provides only a photograph credit without substantive information about the term itself. To write an accurate, fact-based overview, I would need context that actually explains what saṅgha is and its significance.

Saṅgha or saṃgha () is a term meaning "association", "assembly", "company" or "community". In a political context, it was historically used to denote a governing assembly in a republic or a kingdom, and for a long time, it has been used by religious associations, including Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs. Given this history, some Buddhists have stated that the tradition of the sangha represents humanity's oldest surviving democratic institution.
